Since i have been back from America in November i have been mostly plotting and rhyming my way around my desk. Another page in the Squeeze ledger has been opened and in it i can see a tour in the UK with a new album around the same time. America too if everything falls into […]

Another voice from my childhood gone, i saw King Crimson and ELP a few times in my jagged youth, and i played their albums relentlessly trying to understand what was going on. Greg Lakes voice enchanted me and bathed me in a warm teenage dream that one day i too would be King, but not […]

I was so moved by the love from everyone on this tour, it was magical. As we headed up to Boston and back down to New York where i spent the final 8 days staying in one hotel driving out and back each day to the shows. With my son Riley at the wheel! He […]

Boise, home of the Taj Mahal curry house, and home of the wonderful Egyptian Theatre. Also home of the lovely Curtis Stigers. A day off and a wonder around town in the warm sunshine and clean air that escapes from the local mountains close by. Everywhere seems neat and tidy, its a model village of […]

Today i heard that copies of Fancy Pants had arrived through 63 eager peoples doors, and to my horror i have found that the running order is not how it was intended. CD 1 is a shorter version of the album, and CD2 is is the complete album. CD 1 should have been Act 1 […]

I think i have been photographed more than the Eiffel Tower this month, and iv shaken more hands than Prince Charles, the tour rolls on and why not. We started the week in the heat of 96 degree’s plus down at Solana Beach and here we are in Vancouver with it feeling like November in […]

The first week of touring with Squeeze in America seems to have gone like all the others, except it does not feel like the beginning of another new tour but the extension of our summer shows. For me this feels good, no pre tour panic to sort the chords out and get the shapes all […]

Since i have been in Phoenix Arizona i have been eating and not sleeping, eating and thinking about the tour. My back is free of spasm but still in intermittent pain. I have to have a op when i get home to free up the disc from the nerve endings. Stage moves may be limited […]

This summer Lou and i saw Groundhog Day at the Old Vic with my dear friend Mark Nevin and Louise his lovely wife, and i have to say i was emotionally blown away by the story, which i had never seen before. Summers always ended for me in Ireland when i was a child, up […]

Summers seem to race by as you get older, one minute its May and the next its almost September and then the rain. Its been so great being on so many different stages with the band, Squeeze are gelling very well with the shorter sets, i think they suit us much better than the longer, […]

Time Slips By

One minute its time to get up and the next its bed time, the day I live in is a collection of one dam thing after another. I care about the people I love, i care about this day. this is all we have, this right now, I don’t own any of tomorrow, I can’t explain yesterday i can only live right here right now in this moment and on this page
